For Referring Physicians

We work with a large number of Primary Care, Internal Medicine, and other Physician specialties for specialized hernia care. We take your referrals as the highest compliment we can receive. For years, our center has participated in the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC) which tracks patient outcomes after surgery and in turn provides detailed patient outcome data for our specific center.

Selecting a surgeon who tracks his or her outcome data and then publishes that data for future patients to see will help you be confident in your decision. Our hernia practice is one of the only centers in the country to provide complete transparency to patients as they are making their decision on who to trust with their hernia care. By choosing to have treatment at California Hernia Specialists, patients and their healthcare providers can ensure the most consistent and highest quality care.

Visit our Patient Outcome Page for more information on how we can take great care of your patients.

Important Points To Consider When Choosing Your Hernia Surgeon:

Be sure to find a surgeon who focus’ on hernias, makes them a priority in their practice, tracks their patient outcomes and publishes that data for future patients to review. This will help you choose a quality surgeon for your care.
Ensure your surgeon performs a high volume of hernia surgeries. No one in any field can be proficient if they are only doing something a couple of times a month.
Being treated at a specialized hernia center with an in-house accredited Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) provides the highest quality care before, during, and after your hernia surgery and allows for more successful outcomes.

Patients should be seen by a surgeon who can offer all forms of hernia surgery, including open lightweight mesh techniques, as well as advanced laparoscopic techniques. This ensures your surgeon can offer the best technique tailored for your case.
Most laparoscopic patients experience less pain postoperatively and often can return to normal activities sooner. Laparoscopic hernia surgery can result in better patient experiences for some patients.
The newest, advanced lightweight mesh reduces not only the recurrence rate for your hernia, but also the chance of postoperative mesh pain.
